Random Playoff Teams Season 18-wait listing!! Topic

Random Playoff Teams season 17 has concluded the regular season so it is time for season 18 of this popular theme, which usually fills within 2 days.

Participants in season 17 have priority until 11:00 AM ET on Tuesday January 15, but waitlist entries will be accepted until then. There are usually 4-6 openings so please feel free to ask for the waitlist if you are not a returning participant.

From 1903 to 2009, 354 teams competed in the MLB playoffs. Adding the six pennant winners from 1901, 1902 and 1904 (when no World Series was played) gives a total of 360 teams .

Thus, each owner will be randomly assigned 15 of the 360 teams (15 X 24=360). Each owner must select at least 1 player from the rosters of each of the 15 randomly assigned teams.All players selected must be from the 15 assigned teams. I will ask a Hall of Famer to do the random selection of my teams after 12 people are in. (Note- I have deliberately not added the 2010-2012 teams because that would result in a number of teams not divisble by 24)

Salary cap $120 Mil, no DH,WW,AAA or clones. The ballpark used must be one used by one of your 15 random teams.
